General Information
In addition to information about your local symptoms, the homeopath needs to know a lot abut you in general. Essentially the homeopath wants to know how vital and energetic you feel on the whole, and how your sense of well being (not any particular symptom) changes as a result of environmental or emotional factors. How are you affected, in general, by temperature, weather, time
of day, activity level, eating and sleeping? What makes you feel better or worse? Remember, this may be very different from what makes your particular symptoms better or worse.
Diet is also important. Be ready to describe the kinds and approximate amounts of food you usually eat.
In addition, you'll be asked to list the foods you crave or have a strong preference for (even those foods you don't think are good for you) and foods that you strongly dislike.
Understanding your sexuality can be an important part of your health awareness, and the homeopath will ask you to describe the usual level of sexual energy that you feel. You are welcome to discuss your sexuality as fully or as little as you feel comfortable doing.
Finally, the homeopath will want you to discuss your mental/emotional nature. What are the most characteristic emotional patterns you experience? During what activities or in which situations do you feel most happy? What emotional patterns most limit your ability to fully express yourself or reach your full potential? How expressive of emotional states are you, and in what ways do you express them? What about your memory, clarity of thought, and so on?
